In Ephesus the truth had come under severe attack by false teachers, called Gnostics. So with a pastoral concern, John writes some very helpful words about how to discern the truth.

This is a skill every one of us needs to develop — how to discern truth from false teaching. In this passage, John teaches us how to be discerning of the truth so that we’re not led astray by false teaching like the Christ followers in Ephesus.
